Was Brutus a man of principle or a hypocrite?
After reading the play Julius Caesar by William
Shakespeare, I would conclude that Brutus was a
man of principle and honor. Brutus, a servant and
close friend to Caesar, has a strong relationship
with Caesar but a stronger relationship with Rome
and its people. Brutus felt that Caesar was too
ambitious. He would not allow Caesar to rise to
power and then turn his back onto the people of
Rome. He is also a noble man who was revered by
many. Brutus had...

Decide To Burn Antony Speech Brutus
694 words
I believed in what Brutus had to say during his
speech, and I was pro-Brutus because of his
honorable title. However, I am now pro-Caesar and
pro-Antony. I truly believe in what Antony has to
say, because unlike Brutus, he has reasons and
explications for why things were done. He does not
simply state an opinion as Brutus did. He supports
his opinion with facts, so that they are no longer
opinions but facts. Brutus said that he killed
Caesar for the good of Rome, but he never told us
the harm th...
